BISMARCK STRUCK TOKATEA LEADER.
SPECIMENS FROM THE TOKATEA. COROMANDEL. (From our own Correspondent.) mi rr. Tl"3 ay« The Tokatea rankcdta-day 412 ozs for the fortnight's crush n>. The chamber in the Royal Oak is finished, and the winze is down 25 fee v. ; No 1 leader still carries little gold. I think next slopes will yield some fair stone. The contractors hare driven 154 feet. _ A horse belonging to H. O'Brien was killed on the Tokatea Tramway this rnonrng. The Education rate is being paid freely. The Tokatea, during the week, got lOOlbs specimens from the stope poing out from No. 1 pass, Bismarck level. It was sent to the mill yesterday. They will have about 400 Ib 3 altogether. The contractors of the Van level struck gold in the Bismarck ground. The find is considered of great importance to Bismarck, and Tokatea, and the whole field. It establishes payable gold in low levels. The leader, where o o ld was found, is fifteen inches ; nice looking blue stone. They have a few pounds of picked stone on hand, with gold still showing. Mr R. Kelly is satisfied it is the Tokatea leader.
